Savoy Cocktail Book, Harry Craddock Hardback Facsimile
The Savoy Cocktail Book A Chancellor facsimile of the original Savoy Cocktail Book with recipes compiled by Harry Craddock of the Savoy Hotel and illustrated by Gilbert Rumbold. Synonymous with style, elegance and sophistication, the Savoy is unsurprisingly also the birthplace of some of the most famous cocktails in the world. During the s and '30s, prohibition-dodging Americans visiting London for tea-dances and "mixed drinks" (cocktails), made the bar at the Savoy their home. Here they were entertained by legendary American barman Harry Craddock, inventor of the White Lady and populariser of the Dry Martini. Originally published in , the Savoy Cocktail Book features 750 of Harry's most popular recipes. It is a fascinating record of the cocktails that set London alight at the time - and which are just as popular today. Taking you from Slings to Smashes, Fizzes to Flips, and featuring art deco illustrations, this book is the perfect gift for any budding mixologist or fan of s-style decadence and sophistication. Updated with a new introduction and recipes from The Savoy. The photographs represent the true condition of the book, it is unread and has been stored safely in a protected bookcase from new.
